Three 'Quick one' seeds, from RoyalQueenSeeds, planted in a RQS Soil plug each.
The soil plugs are moistened with a spray bottle and put in a glass jar with the lid not fully closed. This is to keep the RH% high, but still be able to breathe.
Three 19L (3Gal) fabric pots are prepared with the organic potting soil. Unfortunately, the potting soil was infested with fungus gnats.
Because of this, nematodes are ordered to combat the fungus gnats. The fabric pots are put in a dry warm place to dry out, until the nematodes arrive.

Nematodes have arrived today.
The fabric pots are watered in advance to prepare the soil for the nematodes.
After waiting several hours, the pots are treated.

All three plants started to push the top soil aside and show themself a bit.
27/08/2025
All three plants have sprouted and are approx. 2cm-3cm tall.
One plant is showing a tiny bit of root at the bottom of the plug.

All three plants have a root sticking out the bottom of the plug.
Prepared the soil today, to plant the seedlings.
First mixed approx. 8L of soil with 1L vermiculite (10%) and 2L perlite (20%), and then put a small layer (2-3cm) inside the 11L smart pot.
Mixed 10gr ascophyllum nodosum (Kelp) powder and 10gr RQS Rhyzobacter with the remaining soil. After mixing it is added to the smart pot.
After the pot was filled, a 10cm hole was made in the middle. This hole is filled with soil which was rinsed to lower the fertilizer content.
The rinsed soil is mixed with 4gr of RQS Mycorrhiza. A small hole is made for the soil plug. But before putting the plug in, it is sprinkled with 1gr of Mycorrhiza. After the plug is added to the hole, a bit of soil is carefully put on top to cover it all.
All three pots have been placed inside the grow tent, with only two out of four lights (50W/lamp) turned on, at a height of approx. 60cm from the soil.
A glass is put on top of each seedling to raise RH%. The soil around the glass is sprayed with water to slightly moisten it as the top layer had dried.
The extraction fan is turned of and the oscillating fan is turned on for circulation.
